The UAIC

Anglican in Heritage, Interspiritual in Perspective and Practice…

Most Definitely NOT Your Grandmother’s Church

General Information

It is the policy of the UAIC to organize dioceses when the need exists. Need is determined by a complex formula which considers the distribution of clergy over a given geography, the nature of the ministries in that area, the fact that UAC clergy are bi-vocational, and a number of subjective criteria. The governing body of The UAC is The General Assembly. The Executive Committee is composed of all Bishops and the Canons, who may also serve as Diocesan Administrators in developing dioceses. The Executive Committee is authorized to make emergency decisions between the annual meetings of the General Assembly, and acts in an advisory capacity to the Presiding Bishop.
